Abstract:

Narrow ridges remain a serious challenge to the dental implant surgeon that may intrude the successful placement of endoosseous implants either in the right positioning, or may intrude into the final esthetic outcome in esthetic zones where a small collapse is highly recognizable. Several techniques of GBR and autogenous bone blocks augmentation has been introduced with very good results. However, they need longer healing time, with two surgical sites, post-ponding the implant placement at another additional surgery. Bone splitting techniques rely on the viscoelastic properties of the available bone at the site of implant placement. Those techniques overcome the drawbacks of bone blocks augmentation, and will allow the surgeon to gain the desired width at the first surgery and place the implants simultaneously with a less invasive procedures. Multiple complicated implant surgeries in narrow ridge cases will be presented showing the techniques in maxillae and mandible, with literature review and end results.
